Ammo crates from WW2

#1

Post by bennie71 » 25 Jul 2002, 00:48

For some time I have been looking for ammunition crate reference for a military simulation I am working on, and so far have come up empty handed. If anyone here could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Do you need a picture of an ammo crate, or a model for a game/simulation?
Because I think I can get you either one...

What you think about these?
